And the messenger said unto David
 The particulars of his account follow: 
 surely the men prevailed against us;
 the men of the city of Rabbah, the besieged there, in one onset they made upon them: 
 and came out unto us in the field;
 the besiegers that lay encamped there; they sallied out upon them: 
 and we were upon them, even unto the entering of the gate;
 rallied upon them, and drove them back, and pursued them to the gate of the city.
